Step Two — Determine Rolling Resistance 25% 14º 3’

Rolling resistance (RR) is the force required to propel a 60% 31º
vehicle over a particular surface. The values in Table 1 are
typical of various surfaces per 1000 lb. of vehicle weight. Step Four — Determine Acceleration Force (FA)
RR = GVW x ρ (kg) (lb) The force (FA) required to accelerate from stop to maximum
speed (KPH) or (MPH) in time (t) seconds can be obtained
where GVW = gross (loaded) vehicle weight lb/Kg

Sand, loose .160 to .300
Drawbar Pull (DP) is total force available at the drawbar or
“hitch” after the above forces have been subtracted from
the total propelling force produced by the hydraulic motors.
This value is established as either:

1. A goal or objective of the designer.

2. A force required to pull a trailer (Repeat steps two
through four above using trailer weight and add the three
forces together to obtain DP).

outer ring of the Orbit gear set. These rolls act as a roller
bearing and reduce friction, increase mechanical efficiency
and reduce wear in systems with low fluid viscosity. In
addition, the Geroler type typically provides smoother
performance at low speed conditions. The basic formula and
guideline to determine whether a gerotor or Geroler should
be used is as follows:
20 x psi / RPM = SUS (use this formula to determine minimum
fluid viscosity)
RPM = speed of output shaft in revolutions per minute
Gerotor
SUS = minimum viscosity measured in SUS.
The recommended viscosity limits are as follows:
1) A Gerotor Orbit gear set requires a minimum fluid vis-
cosity of 100 SUS or the valve calculated by the formula
20 psi/RPM = SUS.
2) A Geroler Orbit gear set requires a minimum fluid vis-
cosity of 70 SUS.
In addition, applications running at less than 100 rpm should
consider using a Geroler motor.
